Our church has what we call "strategic partnerships." We have strategic ministry partners and we have strategic church partners.
A strategic ministry partner is a partnership with a ministry outside the church that we support on particular issues as homelessness, poverty, orphan care and vulnerable children initiatives.
Our strategic church partnerships are with churches that have a similar vision and similar missional and theological DNA as our church. Since we value the local church and we believe the local church should be the "hero" in their community, these partnerships are pastor to pastor and congregation to congregation.
In Nairobi, Kenya we have both. We have a strategic ministry partnership with a ministry called The Royal Diadem Centre for Excellence. It's a ministry of our strategic church partner Nairobi Gospel Centre International. We are currently working together to meet the needs of vulnerable children in community near the church. We are partnering together to change the world one child at a time.
My friend and ministry partner, Enock Matte is the project manager for our vulnerable children's initiative in Nairobi. He recently put together this video that explains our vision and strategy in Nairobi. If you want to support this project or find out more about it go to our non-profits website and click donate.
